This weekend marked the official opening of our new facility in the USA!

An industry and general open house event were both held to showcase what we can offer mountune fans and gear-heads alike in California, and beyond!

The 18,000 square foot premises located in Carson, California - near LA, houses multiple vehicle lifts for installation and service work, an engine dyno and build room, R&D offices plus our new super-cool showroom. We absolutely love the latter and the unanimous feedback from everyone who attended both events let us know that you did too!

Packed with our latest products, together with more than a nod to our impressive motorsport-packed heritage, it's not just somewhere to purchase parts, but a destination for like-minded car nuts.

For those that couldn't make it, check out the pictures and our video below or, if you're in California, why not drop by and check us out for yourself - details below.

A huge thank you to all that attended plus special thanks to Ford Performance, Fifteen52 and MotoIQ for their event support.

Our in-house design team have been busy working on a range of new apparel for this summer season with new mountune Tee's, hoodies and snapbacks about to drop.

You may remember we ran a competition at the back end last year, which Tiego Azevedo from Portugal won after he sent us this cool 'blended’ design, which is available in both a black and white tee. We’ve also added the cool RS themed tee you see here offering a choice of wording to suit your style.

Made from 100% cotton, and displaying the usual mountune branding, these new tee's will be available to purchase online mid April, with the hoodies and hats following shortly afterwards

The 2016 BTCC season got underway this weekend at Brands Hatch as no less than eight mountune-powered cars contensted the 1.2-mile Indy circuit.

Motorbase Performance’s 2016 BTCC campaign started strong as the team secured four top eight finishes during the championship’s season opener this weekend at the Brands Hatch Indy circuit.

Team drivers Andrew Jordan and Mat Jackson both took several top-5 finishes during the 3 races on Sunday leaving the Wrotham-based team sitting in second place in both the overall team standings and independent team standings.

mountune-sponsored Jackson added; "We're making great progress with the car since adopting the new regulation suspension changes and of course, my mountune engine performed faultlessly throughout the weekend".

Jordan and Jackson currently sit in 3rd and 5th respectively in the independent drivers’ championship, with Jordan joint-4th overall.

Elsewhere, turning a wheel in anger for the very first time were the quartet of mountune-powered Subaru Levorg's.

With the paint barely dry on the brand new Subaru builds the opening round was always going to be more of a glorified test day than anything else, but against the odds as well as collecting valuable data, former-champion's Jason Plato and Colin Turkington both managed to secure the teams' first championship points.

“Everyone at Team BMR deserves a huge amount of credit for what they have achieved here. To build these four cars and get them here running in the tail end of the points is superhuman. I have said all weekend that we weren’t concerned about results because it has been all about building up our knowledge and developing the car." Plato enthused.

We caught up with former BTCC champions Jason Plato, Colin Turkington and team owner/driver Warren Scott, ahead of their 2016 campaign in the mountune-powered Subaru Levorg. Hear what they had to say about the season ahead.

We caught up with Motorbase Performance and Pirtek Racing's BTCC title contenders Mat Jackson and former champ, Andrew Jordan ahead of the opening round of the season to talk about the year ahead and being powered by mountune. Watch the video to hear what they had to say.
